Two months ago, a severely injured Firoj Alam was wheeled into the emergency room of Apollo Hospitals on OMR after falling about 200 ft, from the 17th floor to the 5th floor, at a building site. On Thursday, the 20-year-old air conditioning mechanic, smiling, told reporters he is ready to fly home to Bihar on Friday.
Senior consultant neurosurgeon Dr Roopesh Kumar said several factors including luck saved him besides intensive medical care. Alam does not remember the fall, but doctors suspect the helmet he was wearing may have flown off before he landed on the limbs and back. “It could have been fatal if he had handed on his head. His head might have hit the ground after the rest of the body absorbed most of the shock,” said Dr Roopesh.
